“The will to do is far more important than the skill to do”.

This was one of those days when I had some work on my plate and had the skill to complete the task. I was in no mood to start the task and was wondering why I was feeling in this manner. My laziness had reached such a zenith that it almost overtook my willpower to brush off the feeling of laziness aside and start my work.

As I was going through this experience, I was also an observer of the drama that I was playing on myself. I felt like an onlooker standing aside with folded hands and having a smile on my face, and looking. This was new to me. Being an onlooker to myself was an experience in itself. I will write about this phenomenon later.

The deeper I dwelled, I realized that there was some mental fatigue, laziness, and the delivery schedule of the task; other priorities were playing their part, and it was very complex and confusing at the same time. This went on for a while, and I realised that the more I sensed that I was an observer, I started to feel a sense of amusement, which actually broke out into a smile. This was when the entire conversation left my mind, and I felt “silence” that was very new and helped me focus better and complete my tasks.
